I have two kiddos that go to this school and the teachers are so wonderful and caring! They treat our kids like family even though I have two young children; the teachers that teach the upper grades know my children by name and know me by name. This school is an excellent school. We are our own little family and village. Someone once said it takes a village to raise a child. Well here at this school is your village. Thanks Hoffman!
